<p>I've been doing practice tests since November, of course I only did a couple during the school year, but I recently did 2 during the break. My scores aren't seeing the improvement that I want. I'm constantly getting in the low 600's-low 700's, and while I didn't rigorously study in the school year, I still feel like I did enough work during that time and during the break to see some sort of improvement. What's going on? What should I do? How do you recommend I improve my score? I'm aiming for a 2400 (obviously), but anything above a 2300 would satisfy.</p>
<p>Tell me that you’re doing more than just practice tests to prepare for the SAT.</p>
<p>Of course. I’m not just taking practice test after practice test hoping for some improvement. I’ve taken a Saturday class since November, done work out of prep books, read strategies out of prep books, and gone over all the question on these practice tests.</p>
<p>I plan on taking the SAT this year by the way.</p>
<p>Rigorously go through the questions you got wrong. If you’re not doing that you just wasted hours doing practice tests.</p>
<p>Try your hardest for the 2400 but since it’s multiple choice with questionable wording there’s a lot of luck in the getting a perfect score. Shoot for 2400, be real happy with a 2300+ and be satisfied with a 2200. A composite 2200 will put you in the top 1%. GL</p>
<p>You’ll have to start paying attention to the details. General studying is usually good enough to get you up to a 2100, but when missing a single question can take thirty points off your score, you need to focus and streamline your studying.</p>
<p>I’d say that anything over 2270 is good though- when you get into the upper range, GPA and ECs are more important.</p>
